Murphy's Law

Rep. Tim Murphy ... is the author of a bill that addresses the mental health issues he believes are central to the mass shootings crisis. [More]

Just remember, Stalin "adjudicated" mental patients. And then remember another "law." If the Bill of Rights are going to apply to all, anyone subject to "gun disability" based on mental health ought to have the same protections afforded heinous criminals, that is, the equivalent of a jury trial -- otherwise we're putting the fate and the rights of people into the hands of those who may have a personal and/or professional conflict of interest. And ditto for "legal restoration" of rights-- I assume clear protocols are in place where a medical professional will not place malpractice charge concerns over the rights of a patient?

If not, I'd be revisiting that "A-" and endorsement.
